Values are realative to the culture in which they arise.
Values are necessarily realative to the culture in which they arise, and cultures ae necessarily realtive to their own histories. Furthermore, all cultures are necessarily sucessful in the predictive domain that they define, and to accuse any one culture of failure from the perspective of another culture is an error. Cultural differences, then, are legitimate and must be respected, because they represent completely valid cognitive domains, not because they are human expressions. (CS 464)
